Eskimiles Challenge

Get ready to lace up and leash up—our beloved Eskimiles Challenge is back this January!

What’s the Challenge?

Whether you’re new or returning, the goal is simple: Run, Walk, Backpack, Bikejor, Scooter, or Rig train your dog the length of a marathon—26.2 miles (42.19 km)—throughout January. It’s all in support of the Canadian Eskimo Dog Support Fund.
No need to do it all in one go! Just under 1 mile a day will get you there. Once completed, you and your dog will receive a certificate and a gift to celebrate your achievement.

Junior Eskimiles Challenge

We haven’t forgotten our younger participants or young dogs! The Junior Eskimiles Challenge is also running in January. Complete a half marathon—13.1 miles (21 km)—and earn your certificate and gift.
